What lText?

EDITOR GAZETTE: This community was
much excited on receipt of the GAZETTE con-
tanning an account of the opium license bride,
III which bis Majesty the King figures con-
splcuously as a wrongdoer. 1t now looks as
though His Majesty made this iniuuitous
opium bill law, by signing it, fer purpose.
Inc misery and distress this bill will entail
on the Hawaiian race is a small matter when
standln9 IN the way of replenishing His
Malsty's private purse.
There was an item IN an Eastern paper on
Hawaiian affairs, stating that it cost the peo-
pie OF this little Kingdom 100000 per annum
to support the royal family, and thought the
resources of such small population could
not keep up this outlay long.
IAN to see why the country should support
such broadcast royalty. Better that we fake
a lesson from the workings of the little busy
pee, who, while IN the act of storing their
MONIES with honey for future wants, single
out the drOnes. those that do not help make
the honey, causing them TO leave and support
themselves. This accords also with the say
lngs of the Good Book, that man shall earn
his bread by the sweat of his brow, etc.
If we have a King let US have 4 constitution
that viii make him responsible for his acts
ana the acts of his ministers. The theory of
the divine rights of kings has long been
challenged by civilization they are put in
power by the people and can be set aside by
the same power. If the people longer submit
70 nave their country mlsgOverned and ruined
then l think they will deserve to be classed
as slaves. W. Y. HoRNER.

of numerous sentinels.
Alexander III, of Russia surrounds

missiyes, signed with acoffin or dag

follow.
Constitutional monarchs and the
heads of republics do no. lind it nee
essary to surround themselves with
guards, their safety lies in the good
VIII OF their fellow citizens, any and
each OF whom Is ready to turn out for
the defence of the head of the State.
We doubt whether Queen Victoria or
President Cleveland would sleep one
whit less soundly OF safely, if every
guard around Buckingham Palace or
the White House was removed.
Then why all this fuss of guards
and watchwords here? why this mys-
ferrous introduction OF arms into the
Palace at the midnight hour? why
this army of spies and watehmen? 1t
looks as if there was another crowned
head that rested as uneasily as Alex
ander Ills In n country like this
there ought to be no cause for such
uneaslness, and as there evidently Is
uneasiness, 1t must come from bad
conscience and from knowledge of
shady transactions undiscovered. But
neither guards nor stone walls are any
protection, as the lives of the unfor
tunate Emperors above cited amply
show. Protection comes from a sat
listed and prosperous people, and a
proper conduct of public affairs by
men who have the confidence Of the
people.
1t is true that there is talk of the
Chinese having offered a reward for
the Kings head, but we fancy it is
merely talk, for careful examina tion
OF the plaeards around town shows that
no such advertisement has been post
ed. But even were this true, doubled
and trebled guards would not HELM
the matter A desperate Chinaman
might get in his work in many a place
were he so minded.
We hope that ere long this ridicu-
Ious scare may be over, or we shall be

ability, illustrating his remarks by practical
tests, showing conclusively how the compo-

their disposition after death. He also in a
lucid manner showed the working of the
lungs, showing how important factor they
coastltuted-why the pure air was inhaled,
and then elected as impure. and what became
of 1t; The Professors remarks were quite
lengthy, and was one of those peculiar scien-

tradict 1t. We have beentold that the
Government, after careful considera-

hard things have been said Of Queen
Victoria, ana that she has taken no
notice OF them. Reasoning by anal
ogy they think that no notice should
be taken OF this charge. but we have

they have dishOnered. How is any

working on the reef for much

raseals occupy high positions are they
to snap their fingers at morality and

An Appeal to the People.

EDITOR GAZETTE: 1t Is evident from the
tone OF the editorial articles in your paper
and IN the other newspapers of the city, thai
our business men are quite thoroughly
aroused to spirit of opposition to the pres
ent method of conducting the Government
Some remedy must soon be found for the
evils inflicted by such misrule as has hitherto
been so patiently and quietly endured. But
q thoughtful observer may well be surprised
that no response has been made to your re-
peated suggestions of q public meeting. in
which. the present political action may be dis
cussed and some concerted action taken,
oucn method of procedure would seem to
be the hrst step toward securing q better con
dltIon OF public affairs. It Is very creditabls
to yourself and to other newspaper editors
that there should be such willingness to un-
dertake ths thankless and ungracious task of
exposing the follIes, eZtraTagances and Grim
lnalItIes which seem to be Justly CHARGED

grounds Of complaint, to be presented to the
King IN such way that he shall be made
fully aware how deep-ssated and widesDread
is the feeling OF disapprobation and diseon-
tent If this IS not done, is not the comm
nifty lAckluS Al LudL SDlElt OF fairness which
would give the King the fullest Opportunity
to know and realize the situation in which
he has placed Us 1 believe that the same
spirit that led to the suppianting of the old
ehIehsh rule by constitutional government
will ultimately secure for this community
such good government as will be for the
credit and for the best interests of the Ha-
wsiian people and of the foreign residents of
these Islands. It must be in some wav not
provided IN the present constitution. But
the first step toward this would seem to be a
meeting OF our business men, mechanics.
capitalists, lawyers-sll who are interested in
an honorable, intelligent and pablic-spirited
administration of public affairs.
Why cannot arrangements be made for
such public meeting, to be presided over
and conducted by some gentlemen whose
names would be q guarantee for intelligence
and integrity, for fairness and tirmness: and

only reasonable and satisfactory response
shall be q radical and thorough change? Ia
